Visits to Orphanage

The priest informed the children,

to decorate their place,

as saints are coming,

to give them presents.

The children hung blue lights,

to light the paths,

made stars and tinsels,

to place on the trees.

They brought cane sugar candies,

and baked cranberry pies;

they also practised carol,

to sing for the saints.

The priest always says,

they are children of Virgin Mary,

and after giving birth,

she gifted them to him.

So the saints were to visit,

on the children's day,

to grant their wishes

and bless them love.

As the preparation was done,

it was time to wait,

for the day to come

and saints to arrive.
